QLPR committee member Lauren Cumner said the Gladstone region was lucky to have a reliable and caring person like Josie running its page.

"Josie has built the Gladstone page up to what it is now and she really does love it," Lauren said.

While the QLPR has minimal overhead costs due to the fact it is run entirely by volunteers, the organisation is looking to raise money to start a pound fees assistance fund - which would provide interest-free loans to people whose pets have been impounded.

"Each year far too many loved pets are put to sleep or end up in the care of animal rescue groups for re-homing, simply because the owner doesn't have hundreds of dollars to get them out of the pound," Lauren said.

"We are also always looking for new page administrators, so I really encourage anyone interested in joining our team to contact us through Facebook or our website."
